Online chat with Plarium's Community Manager! January, 6

Cooperation where they actually take our opinions and ideas into consideration.

We are the ones playing this game, trying to have fun. We are the ones giving them their salaries.

We are all tired trying to speak and get through to the company. We have the best view of the game, we see how people are not enjoying it as much anymore and that means less customers for Plarium.

It is getting harder and harder to play without money, add something new where non-coiners stand a chance. Of course players that use money will have an upper hand always but non-coiners are getting ruined by these players, especially on the new server where a new coalition was founded with top coiners.

Some of the coiners are also losing interest because they have no competition. Everyone should have fun and stand a chance.

There you go Alyona, you can read it again and see if you understand it this time. Please comment on the imbalance of players :)

My quote from another thread explaining our official position:

Each and every player in Sparta: War of Empires can reach TOP positions. That, however, requires a lot of time, Resources, Units, and considerable effort. Alternatively, you can use a special Resource - Drachmas - to develop your City and increase military power to dominate the map. Everyone can get Drachmas for free simply playing the game actively, i.e. participating in Tournaments, capturing Emporia, completing quests and Achievements, etc.
Some players decide in favor of in-app purchases to save time. It allows them to progress a little faster. Sparta: War of Empires is free-to-play, and like any other game of this type it gives all players free access to all game features and an opportunity to accelerate their progress with in-app purchases. It is not unfair that players taking this route, thus supporting the development of the game, enjoy certain advantages. Again, all these advantages may be summarized in one word - time. It takes less time to advance, but does not change the core of what every player needs to do to develop their City and grow military power. Moreover, there is a number of in-game limits so no one player can dominate an entire server. Therefore, when we develop a new feature, we make sure it will not negatively affect the game balance.
Yet another thing to consider is the social aspect of our games, which is extremely important. We want our players to unite in Coalitions and build Alliances to become stronger. We understand that it is hard to compete against stronger players -- it has always been, in any game -- and that is why we pay so much attention to various Coalition activities and give players an opportunity to unite against a stronger enemy. If you have any suggestions as to how this part of the game can be improved, we will be happy to hear from you.

Now we can battle the computer. In the future can we battle other players?

But maybe get movement keys. I mean use arrow keys to move left right, forward back then mouse to attack,. I think that would be fun, maybe have some special prizes, or do friendly battles with coalition members for some small rewards too. What do you think?

When adding gear your general would be nice to see the upgraded gear on your general not just beside it as this would make people strive to upgrade gear for new looks and would have a better understanding of the the importance of extra buffs and just coolness of the new gear and increase freindly competition

We're planning to improve the Phylarch feature, but I haven't heard of the devs plans.

Of course it would be great, but that's technically complicated :)

Fair enough Alyona, but I do suggest giving more to non-coiners. The difference between the non-coiners and the coiners has grown too large for my liking, and many others' liking. Money is always an advantage, but remember this is a game that should be enjoyed by everyone. This is where people come during their free-time and have fun...well try to.

Hi Plarium, honorable community manager as well as dear friends, thanks a lot for preparing such a great initiative to discuss and share further on the development and uniqueness of this wonderful game.

I am just wondering is it possible that there is a notification or message to be send out or informed the winner or all participants who won a specific drachmas contest? Rather than we have to scroll page by page, end up not sure who won? Just a mere suggestion for your kind consideration.

Moreover, about this game, is it possible to have some allocation of certain percentage or number of reward to be selected from? For instance, I won a event, it will be given a choice whether i need 20 offence unit and 30 defence unit, rather than there is only an option. either you choose all offence unit or defence unit as rewards.

With each new update we make sure to make it available for all our players :)

Dead horses ect when mass battles happen it would be nice to see they strewn dead bodies in front of your cities for a set time after large battles

Our game is not animated that way :)

Thank you for your precious time and kind understanding. =)

The winner is always announced in the last post.

As for the rewards, I'm not sure if it's possible. Our devs are not planning to give that option.

If you siege a city and hold it for 30 days aprox you get to take the upgrades from that city peace by peace This would make people strive to hold upgraded cities and make them a hoter item people would place more then 1 jav to defend them
